Love Finds You On Christmas Morning by Debby Mayne and Trish Perry

Love Finds You On Christmas Morning is a lovely
Christmas book made up of two stories; one set in the 1920’s, and one in modern
times.In “Deck the Halls” by Debby Mayne,
Lillian Pickard supports her mother and father by working full time at a dime
store.Her father is unable to work due
to an accident.Wealthy farmer William
Tronnier fancies Lillian, but her family tells her that he is above her socially
and wouldn’t be interested in her with marriage in mind.In “‘Tis The Season”, Tronnier descendent,
Nikki Tronnier is a chef that moves back to her home town with the goal to buy
back her Great-Grandparents home.She
has just saved enough money, when engineer and man she has just started to
date, Drew Cornell, buys the home not knowing her plans.What will Nikki do?

I really enjoyed this Christmas novel.I liked how the two stories were connected
and that they were set in Cary, North Carolina.I have never been there, but did work on a few engineering projects
there back in the day. Sadly my request for a site visit did not go
through.I also love that Lillian works
at a dime store.I worked at one myself
while in high school.I thought it was
interesting that a wealthy farmer would be considered a different social class
than a dime store worker.It made me
think about my Great-Grandpa and Grandma Kile and their love story, which was
on similar lines.I had never thought
about the social ramifications.I did
get slightly annoyed about how the parents were adamant that William would only
want one thing and even after meeting him, kept insisting that Lillian not be
with him.

Overall though, this is an excellent light Christian
Christmas romance.I loved that it was
romantic and about building a relationship with the one you love.
